MONEY MARKETI AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The large increase that has lately taken place in the available balances of discounts has very mate terially changed the aspect of the money market. From a condition of stringency to that of compara tive ease, has been the work of only a day or two. The high rates allowed for money placed out for only a week or fortnight's notice of Withdrawal has in a very painful degree r.ff:cted the discount market, by bringing up from the coun• try large sums for temporary investment. The market being thus flooded with capital, the brokers have been c)mpelled to turn it to account, however fractional the profit. They are, therefore, now negotiating bills of three months' date at 81 per cent., and shorter dated securities at 8t per cent. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Palmer and Co., of Cullum-street, who failed on the 4th inst., was held yesterday, when an approximate statement of affiirs was submitted by Mr. Henry Edwards, of the firm of Cash and Edwards, the accountants, showing liabilities amounting to £410,471 lls. 2d., of which were expected to rank upon the estate £78,656 lls. ld., with assets amounting to £62,067 Is. 61., or nearly 16s. in the pound. After a long discussion it was resolved to wind up the estate under inspection. The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday comprised an influx of £34,000 in French gold, and the withdrawal of 25,000 sovereigns for transmis sion to the Brazils. There was a slight advance y es t er d a y a ft ernoon in the rates of exchange on Amsterdam and Ham burg, but those on Paris were a shade lower. The Anglo-Austrian Bank will be prepared to pay, on and after the Ist October, out of realised net profits, as interest for the first six months of the current year, the sum of 33. 6d. per share free of income tax. Two o'CLocx. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Reuters telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were quoted 66F. 05c. The English Stock Market has remained firm but quiet at yesterday's prices. The transactions recorded have been few, and have failed to occasion the slightest fluctuation.

In the Foreign market the only feature of im portance has been the fluctuations in the Confede, rate Loan, which opened at 751- 761, then dropped to 71 73, and is now 73 75, or 2 per cent. lower than at the close of business on the previous after noon.

Metropolitan and South Eastern have each improved 10s., while Bristol and Exeter have declined 10s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have been very dull, and without change as regards values.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Pigott.) THE CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO MURDER A WIFE IN LEICESTER SQUARE. John Williams, aged 36, surrendered to answer an in dictment charging h'An with assaulting Annie Williams, his wife, with intent to kill and murder her. In several other counts he was charged with wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm. _ _ The prosecutrix said on the evening of the 25th of August last,:about half pest 10, she was walking in Leices ter-equere, in the direction of the Alhambra. A gentle man was with her, and while so walking the prisoner came up and asked her to leave the gentleman and come with him. Tho gentleman told him to go away, when the pri soner said she was his wife, and ought not to be walking there. The prisoner then struck her with a knife in the neck. The weapon broke, and he then threw it away. The prosecutria rushed to the Sabl-Jaiere Hotel, followed by the prisoner, when she found her throat cut, and a medical man was sent for and the prisoner WAS taken into custody. Cross-examined by Mr Sleigh—She knew a Mr Cutler, he was a doctor, and she had known him from a child. Ho had attended her mother. She had been married to the pri soner 14 years. They lived happy together for several years at Barnstaple, but they afterwards came to L'ndon about four years ago. She was residing in Nutford-place. She had an illness at that time. Dr Cutler visited her there several times. She lost sight of him for about 18 months. She was then living with her husband in Brewer-street. Cutler had become reduced in circumstances, and the pri soner entertained and kept him with great kindness. Shortl3 after Cutler came into a fortune of £5OO, and took the Cock publichouse, Market-street, St. Martin's-lane, and put the prisoner and witness into it, he also being in the house, and the result was she cohabited with Cutler. Mr Sleigh—And you and Cutler actually turned the pri soner out of the house. Witness admitted that was true, and, in answer to further questions, she admitted she was in the habit of walking the streets and meeting gentlemen. Her husband had re• peatedly urged her to give up her abandoned mode of life, and come to live with him, and he would forgive her. On the night of the occurrence the prisoner came up and en treated her to come home, and when he did so the gentle man told him to go away, and she also told him she would walk with whom she liked, when he struck her. Polied-constable Conquest said he took the prisoner into custody, when he found the prosecutrix had been wounded in the throat. Prisoner then said he was glad he had done it. He found a broken knife on the pavement. Mr John Skegg, surgeon, of St Martin's-lane, said he was sent for on the 25th of August to the Sabloniere Hotel, and Lund the prosecutrix with a wound on the left side of her neck. It was an incised wound about half an inch in length, but not a dangerous one. Inspector Wilson, of the C division, said NI hen the pri soner was in the room at Vine-street station he pulled out 100 i 100 a locket, and said it contained the portrait of a m a n who had murdered his wife. The prisoner was excited but Isober. Business donc At the close of the evidence for the prosecution, Mr Sleigh made an earnest appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, urging the misery the prosecutrix had brought upon him, by her voluntary cohabitation with the man Cutler and the abandoned life she had adopted. Mr Baron Piggott summed up the evidence, and The jury returned a verdict of unlawfully wounding. Baron I'iggott, in sentencing the prisoner, said he was not justified in taking the law into his own hands, and although sympathy might be felt for him, he had no right to carry a knife about with him, which could only have been intended for an improper use. He then sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour. THE ALLEGED MURDER IN HATTON GARDEN. Henry Wilkinson, stone mason, was indicted for the wilful murder of Elin Wilkinson, his wife, on the night of Sunday, the 28th of August, in Cross-street, Hatton garden. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. It will be recollected, from the evidence which has already appeared at length in The Sun, that a young man, named Chipperfield, and the niece of the prisoner's wife, came to visit them on the evening of the 28th August. In the evening prisoner and his wife went with their friends to the Farringdon station of the Metropolitan Railway. and in bidding them good bye the prisoner kissed his wife's niece, at which Mrs Wilkinson seemed annoyed. The prisoner said to Chipperfield—" Don't be jealous : kiss my old woman." Prisoner and his wife returned home, and a quarrel was the result. Prisoner went out and returned home in a state of intoxication, and finding his wife from home he went in search of her. Ile found her in the room of one of the lodgers in the same house, and having recom menced the quarrel, the prisoner struck the deceased and kicked her in the abdomen. The, unfortunate wife ex claimed—" You have given me my death blow," and shortly afterwards died. The prisoner, when sober, always treated his wife with kindness. 1 LIU J ury rOLLLIUGa u. . ca Baron Pigott told the prisoner that the pernicious habit of drinking had led him into his present positien. He had doubts whether he ought not to pass a severe sentence of penal servitude, but under the circumstances he hoped he waa not doing wrong in dealing with the prisoner much more leniently. He therefore sentenced him to 12 moeths' imprisonment with hard labour. CHARGE OF ATTEMPT BD WIFE MURDER IN CLERK.ENWELL. John Rowland, gold refiner, was indicted with fcleniously attempting to kill and murder his wife. The parties, it will be recollected, resided in Seckforde street, Cleikenwell, and the prisoner, on returning home. found his wife in a state of int , xication, whereupon a quarrel ensued, and he struck her on the head with a hatchet. The wife, in her examination this morning, said she was so intoxicated that she did not khow how the injury was inflicted. She believed she hurt herself by falling against the fender. Mrs Smith, however, proved that she - saw the man strike the woman with something having a hand!e. The prose eutrix, she said, was generally intoxicated four days a week. The jury found the prisoner guilty of unlawfully wound ing, and Mr Baron Piggott sentenced him to 12 mouths' im prisonment, with hard labour. OUTRAGE ON LADIES BY THE POLICE AT PIT , LOCIIRY.—The Dundee Advertiser publishes a cor respondence that has taken place between Sir John S. Richardson, of Pitfour Castle, and Messrs Pattullo and Thornton, respecting an outrage committed on three young ladies at a bazaar recently held at Pirlochry. From a nar rative of the case given in the Advertiser, it appears that the ladies, who are members of respectable families in Dun dee and Perth, paid a visit to the bazaar and made several purchases. While doing so, a cry that there were pick pockets in the place was raise], and those present examined their pockets to see whether they had been picked. Shortly afterwards the three ladies alluded to went out, and, after walking about for some time, returned, when they were apprehended, and taken, notwithstanding their protests, to a small tent adjoining, where their outer garments were searched; but as this resulted in the discovery of nothing that could lead to conviction, the ladies were taken to the police station in charge of three policemen. Between the bazaar and the station the ladies were treated as if there was no doubt of their being regular pickpockets, and on arriving at the station they were compelled to strip them selves in the presence of a policeman's wife, who searched everything they had on. It was only after this that the Ipolicemen became satisfied of their mistake and liberated the ladies, Messrs Patullo and Thurnton were employed as agents for one of the young ladies, and in this capacity they addressed a letter to Sir John Richardson—who, it was alleged, had caused the apprehension of the ladies— calling upon him to make due apology and ample reparation to their clients. Sir John emphatically denies, in the cor respondence, having ever interfered in the matter or been in any way responsible for it, and feeling aggrieved at being charged with an L ffence with which he says ho had nothing whatever to do, he has published the correspondence. ROYAL BOSTON YACHT CLUB REGATTA.—The second regatta this season in connexion with Ike Boston Yacht Club, which enjoys the patronage of the Earl of Yarborough, Lord Burghley, the lion. W. 11. Adams, &e l came off on Monday. The weather was beautifully fine, but the wind was rather too light to make the race exciting in the broadest sense of the term. There were three prizes offered, namely —X7, £2, and £l, for which the following yachts competed : — Waterwitch (7 tons), Mr John Pilley, Boston ; Fire Fly (7 tons), Mr L. J. Fawcett, Boston ; Vixen (3 tons), Rev. J. Tunnard, Frampton. The course extended over a distance of about 27 miles, from Maud Fos ter Sluice down to the Upper-Scul-Rig Buoy, and back to Freiston. The start took place at 9.12, the Watetwitch taking the lead and maintaining it all round the course. 'The race finished as under—Waterwitch, 2h. 17. n. 75.; Fire Fly, 2a. 21m. 455.; Vixen about an hour after. SALMON FISIIING--0 wing to the protracted drought which prevailed during the month of August, and the autumn spates which followed, sal:non fishing has been unusually good in mast parts of the coun try. The Ness is swarming with fish ; it is nothing un common for 15 salmon and grilse to be taken by one rod in the course of a few hours. In fact, most of our Northern rivers have been yielding splendid baskets since the with drawal of the nets, and there is every prospect of their con tinuing to do so until the &ono of tha season. Anglers on the Spey have every reason to be well satisfied. The sport obtained on the Tay, however, notwithstanding the appre hensions which were entertained during the past month, seems to eclipse the whole.—lnverness Laurier. FORBIDDING THE BANNS.—A scene of rare oc currence took place in the Manchester Cathedral on Sunday morning. Daring the reading of the banns by the Rev. Mr rroutb,ck a woman rose from her seat, and, when Va o names were mentioned, she said in a loud tone of voice, "I forbid that." She was requested by one of the apparitors to make her objection in the vestry after the service, and she resumed her place.

The fight is to come off next Tuesday week, October 4, and the articles of agreement between the men state that it is to take place in Ireland. The men, who have been in training under the surveillance of profes sionals, have recently shifted their quarter, to prevent pe. lice interference prior to the day of fighting. Mace is to hand over £lOO to Coburn towards his expenses in coming to this country to fight. In betting, Coburn is the favourite. The inhabitants of Cavaillon, a town in the Vaa -1 cluse, celebrated for its melons, having formed the project of founding a public library, wrote to M. Alexandre Dumas to ask him to aid them by a present of a few of his works. The popular novelist wrote back to say that he had given instructions for 200 or 300 volumes of his works which have already appeared as a reprint to be sent to them, but that if they liked his books, he also was fond of their melons, and that in exohange he desired to have constituted to him regularly by municipal decree a life rent of one dozen melons a year, the expense of carriage to re main at his charge. 45 4& 1131 111. 101 93i 105 i 120 9i 82 t rol I 100 1011 1 1001 951 RITIES. 1091 81 1 2.1.0. au 1.140 2.7.0. 2.13.6 n. 1.1 . 78 -.

MERCY, BUT NOT MERCIFUL —A foreigner, who gave the name of Charles Mercy, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with striking a police-constable named Andrews, No. 38 H, with a sling shot, and with kicking another constable, No. 151 H. _ _ Last night the policeman Andrews was passing the Prus sian Flag beerhouse, in Rateliff Highway, and a disturb ance and general fight was going on there. Andrews attempted to quell the row, and while doing so received a violent blow on the head with a sling-shot. The indenta tion on an old uniform hat was very great, and a round piece nearly the size of a shilling was cut out of the hat. Audrews was partially stunned by the fall and disabled. He could not tell who struck the blow, but others gave evidence that the prisoner was the person who struck the blow, and that before Andrews' arrival he took a sling shot from his pocket and struck the waiter at the Prussian Flag twice with it. He was soon arrested, and the sling shot that he had used was found on the ground. On the way to the station house he caught hold of the rails which surround the enclosure in Wellclose square and kicked him backwards. He was compelled to let go the rails, and was dragged to the station-house. He refused to walk there. Mr Paget sentenced the prisoner to one month's im prisonment and hard labour for the assault on Andrews, and one month's imprisonment and hard labour for the assault on 151 11.

The trade for all elsscriptions of English wheat was in a sluggish state, at Monday's decline in the quotations. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied, Sales, both in American and Continental descriptions, progressed slowly, at about Monday's prices. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late rates. and pric es h a d a d ownwar d The supply of barley on sale was moderate. For all de scriptions the trade WAS dull, at barely stationary prices. With oats the marke t was m) derately supplied. There was a fair demand for most crudities, at about stationary t e n T d h e e n cmy.alt trade was dull, prices. Beans ruled firm, prices being quite as high as on Monday. Peas wore in short supply, and they changed hands at full currancics. The flour trade was quiet, at about stationary prices. ARRIVALS TILTS Av EEK . Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The cave itself repay s the trouble of a rath er t o il some ascen t. Its lofty roof, formedof rude cathedral-lik e p o i nte d an d g roined arches, opening out into several pas sages or a i sles, is majestic in the ex tre m e. It is therefore not t o b e wondere d a t that several attemp ts should have been m a d e to ascerta i n the archmelogical trea sures that might r easona bl y be suppo sed to be contained on the floor of the cave, but all researches until the present time have proved fruitless. Impressed by the favourable position of the cavern, its main entranee facing almost due north, Mr. Edwin Brown, of Burton-upon-Trent, had long been under the impression that there was a great probability of discover ing in the mud of th e cave both b one s and teeth of some of those ex. root anim a l s w hi ch inha bit e d this country during the glacial epooh, th e northerly cu rrents of which perio d conveyed the mud i n t o th e cave ; or , fa ili n g geological dis coveries, that there m i g h t b e foun d traces of the ancient tribes of the human rac e h av i ng i n habited the p r e cincts of the cave, which traces h a d escape d the partial atte m p ts of previous explorers to d etect. T o the end that an effi cient search should be ma d e, a small gr ant of mone y was lately obtained from th e Midl an d Scientific Association ; the permission of his G race t h e Duke of Devon = hire was asked and freely granted, and the invaluab le services of Mr S. Carrington, ce Wetton, a s s uperintende nt of the wor ks , wer e enlisted. Operati ons were co mmenced systematically a few days ago, Men were employed carefully to remove the floor of the cave l a y er b y l a y e r, and, after submitting i t th through thegha olet.t practised of of the hill. Many hours had not elap sed befor e articles o f Celtic manuf .cture presented themse lves . The cave the eye ruck of Al down w C narr ington, to thr ow it the western decli v it y had evidently been occupied at various times and for l o ng periods by the wild tribes of our island, who, levelling spaces in the floor in some out-of-the-way nook of the cavern, made their fires and carried on all the opera tions of ordinary life. Layers of charcoal, burnt to the state of soot, were found more than a foot in thickness, together with numerous fragments of pottery of the Celtic and Ro mano-Celtic periods, and bones of a nimals that had been use I as food. In one place, near the stone known as the "Druids' a ny cist, the bones were much crushed. II altar," and about 5 feet from the surface, an ancient inter ment was discovered. The skeleton was placed in the con tracted form common to the most encient burials, but being accompanied by y by a bone instrument, made apparently t h e deceased, but as no simile' brow antler of the red deer, perforated in two discovered in the many barrows unprotected fwroams the different directions, and with with hole also at the I ate. Probably it had been used strings as a fastening a to rti t c h le e that have been opened by Mr. Carrington, or by the late Mr. Bateman and others, in Staffordshire or Derbyshire, the use is at present problematical . . It is a singular cir cumstance that several other similar articles were found in different parts of the cave. Thet.. collection of antiquities so far brought to liiht-- i com i P B se t s bones carved in seve ral peculiar ways, fragment 0 gritstone querns, an armilla and a fine fibula o the harp pattern, both of bronze, several bronze articles ( f very peculiar construe • lion—more or less highly ornamented—and of ethich the uses cannot at present be even guessed ; whetstones of two kinds—one of them Perforated to suspend to the dress; a stone curiously s haped and pierced, possibly used to attach to a fishing-not; iron knives of ancitnt pattern; also a spear head, an arrow head, and an adze of unusual shape, all of iron; a large Y-shaped piece of iron, use un known, and other articles too numerous or too obscure to be catalogued. The discovery cannot fail to be of great interest to all who have studied the history of our barba rous British tribes. It is, however, singular, that so far no discovery has been made of flint instruments, nor of bones of extinct animals, but the researches which are being con tinued may yet bring both to light, as the operations now in progress promise the discovery shortly of the passage by which the cavern is continued into the heart of the hill. - - DEATH OF A POACHER.

That instant she was a corpse ; some thought she had been suffocated, but Dr. Rogers, who was promrly on the spot, stated that death had been the result of apo plexy. This melancholy occurrence has just cast a gloom over the whole neighbourhood, and Mr Sharpe being a large landowner, receives great sympathy, not only from friends but from the numbers he employs.--Surrey audard. MELANCHOLY AFFAIR AT HOLLINGWOOD,-00. Sunday evening, a child, about three years of age. named James William Taylor, son of Joseph Taylor, Cotten street, Copsterhill, Hollinwood, near Oldham, was acci tally shot by his cousin, Joshua Cartwright, son of James Cartwright, of the same place. It appears that James Cartwright bought a gun a short time ago, and he has been in the habit of amusing his little nephew by allowing him to fire off percussion caps. A man, named Butter gorth, came to borrow Cartwright's gun on Sunday fore noon, fur the purpose, as he said, of shooting at a flock of starlings. Ile returned the gun shortly afterwards, still loaded, saying the birds had disappeared, and taking off the cap hung the weapon on the ceiling, not omitting to tell Cartwright that it was charged. About halt-past 4in the afternoon the child Taylor came in and, casting his eyes towards the gun, said " Let me shoot ;" whereupon Cart wright took down the gun, forgetting that it was loaded, and put on a cap. lie then took the little fellow between his knees, but the child would not draw the trigger. Joshua Cartwright, a boy of 13, then took the gun and pulled the trigger. The contents of the gun lodged in the left breast of the child Taylor, who after sobbing twice died. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A LADY.—On Friday the North Riding coroner held an inquest at Kirby Moorside, upon the body of Mrs John Waines, the wife of Mr Waines, solicitor, of that place, who met her death as follows :—A few days ago Mr Waines, surgeon, with his wife, and Mr and Mrs John Waines, were the occupants of a tog-cart, in which the horse ran away in a steep street in Kirby. Mr W. Waines finding be could not hold the animal, pulled it short into a side street, but in crossing an iron drainage grate the horse lost foot hold and fell, and both horse and dog cart rolled over down the hill several times. Mr W. Waines and his wife both received dislocations, but Mrs J. Waines, the deceased, was greatly injured about the head, and was rendered speechless, death ensuing on Thursday. The sad event was purely accidental, and a verdict was re turned accorciingly.—Eastern Itforniny Ne s. THE INTERIOR OF A JAVANESE CRATER.—Se parated by a shelving ridge, we found on the oppo site side another crater, called the Kawa Ratu, which is seen to better advantage by descending into the interior. The way, which at first glance seems easy enough, we found before going many steps to be quite the reverse. The descent is almost perpendicular; and, there being no regular path, you are obliged to pick your way amongst loose stones and hard cakes of clay, which in some places were very slippery. When we htd descended about half way, we came to en escarpment, from which we looked down on the active portion of the volcano, whence issued sounds like the moaning of the wind on a stormy night. These sounds the superstitious natives believe to be the groaning cf certain giants chained under ground by a wicked gnome. Venturing to descend still lower, we had a more distinct view of the chimneys or apertures in the Kawa Ratu, some of which only present the appearance of extinct craters in miniature, while from others the smoke forces itself in dense volumes, preceded by hoarse noises, as though the vents were too small for the great rush of vapour proceeding from them. Tao sounds we heard were very distinct and loud, inconsequence of our proximity. The orifices are encrusted Kith thick deposits of a red and yellow substance, the ground on all sides being of a yellowish brown hue, in consequence of the quantity of sulphur with which the air is impregnated. A few of the holes were filled with water, blue as the sky above u -t, and apparently boiling hot. We lingered to gaze on this won. roux scene as long as we could stay, but the smoke, st hick sometimes rose in clouds before our faces, obliging us to close our eyes, compelled us at last to retreat, glad of having had the opportunity of seeing thus much. This crater, if not more, is at least 400 ft long, and I should say about 300 wide.--Life in Java, by TV. B. d'Abizeitia. I A dreadful murder was committed in the begins ning of last week by a bookbinder named Gauthier, residing in the Rue Montagne-Ste..Genßvieve, on the person of his wife. It appears that Gauthier, a man of violent character and much given to drink, had for some time been in the habit of ill-treating his wife. One night he went home intoxicated, and beat his wife because she reproached him with his dissolute conduct. They went to bed, however, as usual, but in the morning about six the husband revived the quarrel, and at last strangled his wife by entwining a cord six times round her neck. He then left the house, passed the day in drinks ing, and returned at night, and slept in the bed with his wife's corpse. lie did the same the two following nights, after which he returned home no more, but sent a letter by post to M. Vigneron, his father-in•law, stating what he had done, and advising him to get the body buried. Vigneron accompanied by a commissary of police and a doctor , went to Gauthier's lodgings and forced open the door, but it was found impossible to enter the room till the air had been purified by dtsinfectants. On removing the body it was discovered that the unhappy woman, in the agonies of death, had given birth prematurely to a still-born child, Search was made for the murderer, and ho was arrested on Friday night \elide playieg billi%rds, at a caft he frevonted, MEN 100 100 100 100 100
